Commentary: Attorney General Barr is Right, the Left is Deconstructing the Constitution and the Presidency

By now, only a person living in Alternate Universe One could fail to understand that the past three years have precisely nothing to do with Russian collusion or Ukraine corruption and everything to do with who makes decisions about American policy: the duly elected president of the United States or the administrative state.
